Author Notes
One of the best-loved children's/young adult authors, Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on November 30, 1874 in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada, the daughter of Hugh John and Clara Woolner. After attending Prince of Wales College and Dalhouse College in Halifax, she became a certified teacher, eventually teaching in Bideford, Prince Edward Island. She also served as an assistant at the post office and as a writer for the local newspaper, The Halifax Daily Echo.
Best known for her Anne of Avonlea and Anne of Green Gables books, Montgomery received many high honors. She was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1923 and a Canadian stamp commemorates Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables. In addition, various museums dedicated to the book series and Montgomery's life dot Prince Edward Island.
The books in the Anne series follow the growth and adventures of a red-haired, spritely, high-spirited and imaginative orphan named Anne who lives on Prince Edward Island. The success of these books rested in Montgomery's ability to vividly recollect childhood and her easy storytelling ability. They are tremendously popular to this day and have been translated into more than 35 languages and adapted as movies and PBS television productions.
On July 5, 1911, L.M. Montgomery married Ewan Macdonald, a Presbyterian minister, and the marriage produced three children. She died on April 24, 1942.

School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-7-L.M. Montgomery's continuation of the Anne of Green Gables novels provides a delightful journey back to a more innocent and disingenuous time when childhood seemed to last forever, friendship was simple, and good inevitably triumphed over evil. Rainbow Valley, first published in 1919, continues the saga begun in Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonliea, and Anne of the Island. When a new family moves into the Manse and a runaway orphan is discovered hiding in the barn, the six Blythe children take the motherless and wild girls and boys under their protection and introduce them to the delights of Rainbow Valley. With skilled multi-voiced narration, Barbara Caruso gently pokes fun at the foibles and failings of small town life while at the same time highlighting the resilience and generosity of the human spirit.-Cindy Lombardo, Tuscarawas County Public Library, New Philadelphia, OH (c) Copyright 2010.
